It's the only thing that I have that's close to a phobia, and it sucks.

This basically sums up my swimming situation. I can do fine if I'm moving in a straight line but if I stop, then I sink pretty quick. I can't dog paddle more than 1 minute tops and that's a struggle. Going in water deeper than my neck scares the #### out of me.
